Check-Shoves ???

I lead out here hope that I get raised, then shove.

i like b/3bet but i tend to stay pretty aggressive. I might bet/call depending the size of the reraise (if it is small enough to where I may even have fold equity on a blank turn.) And if it goes bet, UTG raise, CO push i find a fold and quick. It just seems to me that if you can b/3b here you should be able to fold out a decent amount of his range if he thinks at all, and check calling is super weak with our hand. if we blank the turn we are looking at being OOP with next to nothing and if we flush up not much more will probably be made. look for stealing a c-bet or playing out what could be a nice big draw.

For the observant player at your table, how about playing this the same way you would play a set? if 3bet is your style do that, otherwise c/r.

[poincaraux]

i think the fact that this pot was reraised means that you don't have as much fold equity as normal. i want to see the river here, so i don't want money left in my stack on a blank turn. if you lead out, somebody might just call. since it was a reraised pot, i expect someone else to bet, especially since you weren't the raiser or the reraiser. so, i like check-shove, especially with these stack sizes.

[IceMuncher]

This is tough, since we have a raiser UTG and a 3-bet. I don't think we can assume we're drawing to the full 15 outs, we've most likely got 9 for sure, probably 12. I think I c/r ai, we really need fold equity to make some money here.

[Shaddux]

I c/r AI. I don't like b/3b AI as much.
